Is Your Water Well Out Of Water or Low On
Volume?
Your well can be rehabilitated to produce a higher water flow.
Whether it's cleaning your screen, deepening your well, or
some other solution, our drilling teams have the tools and
years of experience to maximize your water well's performance.
Well Decommissioning
When a well reaches the end of it’s serviceable life (usually more than 20 years) it’s important that it be property decommissioned. Well decommissioning protects the aquifer from contamination. Water well decommission services include well equipment removal, disinfection, filling, sealing and capping.
The Water Well Drilling Process
These are the main steps involved in drilling a water well.
|
1) |
You call
us with your property's statistics and location. |
|
2) |
We let you know if you qualify for a well
permit (as determined by the Washington State Department
of Ecology) |
|
3) |
You receive a quote
over the phone and by fax. |
|
4) |
Your water well drilling job is scheduled. |
|
5) |
We contact the Department
of Ecology for a well permit. |
|
6) |
We visit your property,
stake out your well, and determine a clear, level access
point. |
|
7) |
We arrive on schedule to drill your water
well. |
| |
a) Set up a surface
seal to 18 feet |
| |
b) Drill for water as
deep as needed* |
| |
c) Check soil samples
as drilling progresses. The driller carefully monitors
the ground materials to locate the aquifer. |
| |
d) Hit water |
| |
e) Install screens,
if needed |
| |
f) Based on the ground
formation, configure the well to maximize its water production |
|
8) |
We introduce you to a reliable water pump
dealer who installs your pump and plumbs it into your
home, usually within 1 to 2 days. |
* Well Depth
Successfully drilling water wells is a blend of art and science.
Your drilling team has the equipment to drill as deep as needed
combined with the skills and experience to successfully locate
the aquifer.

Equipment |
|
|
Foremost DR-12, dual
rotary drill can advance 6"-12" casing up to 1500' |
|
|
Portadrill 524, a mud
rotary drill, can advance 12" hole up to 2000' |
One of our most powerful drilling rigs is
the Foremost DR-12 dual rotary drill. The dual rotary drill
advances the casing and drill bit simultaneously, guaranteeing
you'll get your casings down while ensuring your hole won't
cave in. By inserting the casing without hammering it into
the ground, your casing remains straight, intact and firmly
seated in the bedrock. On top of all this, the dual rotary
drill means a faster and quieter job - reducing your associated
cost and disruption. |
